You are Captain WILLIAM PIERCE, a combat rescue officer of the United States Air Force!

When you landed at Lviv, you figured that things didn't look as bad as they seemed. Sure, the streets were practically empty save for roving police patrols due to emergency curfews, and the airport was closed to all but military and aid flights. You didn't even get a good chance look at the city. The moment you stepped off the transport, you were all immediately hustled off to a fleet of waiting chinooks, these ones bearing the emblem of the United Nations rather than the USAF.

However, the the situation quickly changed as you flew further east. Below, you could see the roads choked with countless vehicles and bodies as refugees fled west to escape the nuclear holocaust. You felt helpless having to see things from above.

"How horrible..." Janice mutters as she looks out the small viewport.

"It just never ends." Red adds in.

"And these are just the people fit enough to move." Tarin mutters. "It's going to be worse when we get to Poltava."

>>40318151Today was a rough day, I guess. But I can't complain, since you run three days a week. Thanks again, Merc. I think I speak for most of us when I say we appreciate how you always make time and effort for us.

Okay here's the deal. I missed a session due to being so sick I puked more than I ate. So I missed a session of first edition D&D. While I was gone the new DM had the party encounter rust monsters. The thief (1st edition) and cleric then stripped to loincloths and boxed he two rust monsters to death. The DM rules that since there's no damage listed on its stat block and hat it's antenna are only listed as affecting metal that they did 0 damage and couldn't fight back. I'm trying to convince him that that is utter bullshit and that the cleric and their should have taken acid damage from punching the rust monster (because pic related says that items hitting the rust monster are affected as if they were touched by the antenna). How should I convince him about it and make it so he can't be taken advantage of in later games?

>>40313510Here's the stat block of the green dragon. The thieves special sword is a longsword (apparently you can make backstabs with a longsword). Longswords do 1d12 to large creatures, this one does double damage to large so 2d12. Thief backstab damage triples that so 6d12.

I'm playing a avatar game, and planning to make a jokester character. Problem is, I can't think of which element has the most potential. Earth or water seem most likely. What's the best possible pranks I can pull?

Setting is post korra, so advanced bending techniques are available later in the game.

>What is Exalted?An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.Read this article to get a hang of the setting: http://theonyxpath.com/exalted/

>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?Read the 3e core book. For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/ are both places where games could be found. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up. Keep your eyes peeled.

Nope. PDFs have the issue of being noneditable. Since I homebrew heavily, I prefer sheets that can hold all the materials in use. It is however complete with limit, BP/XP allocations, special markings for Supernal/Favored/Caste, and anything else you might want though.

>PCs have to drive a few hours to investigate weird shit at a bookstore>Ask the players how the PCs prepare/what do they bring to accomplish the mission>Half of them make a point to say "I bring my gun and nothing else">Later on the PCs get separated>Same players ask "Hey, GM do we have walkie talkies?">"Well, you said earlier you're only bringing your guns so no.">"Guns only" half of the party dies from poor packing

Is this the right thing to do, /tg/? Normally I have common sense stuff like communication, basic medical supplies, food, ect. accounted for but if they're gonna specifically say they only bring one item I feel like that should bite them in the ass.

>>40310275Last saturday i was gm'ing a black crusade game. Players are on a huge space hulk, searching for an ancient STC, come down to hydroponics and discovers it's a huge biodome with forests, fields and it's own atmosphere.

They see medieval style farms, they enter and see peasants around a firepit, as they enter all the peasants grab the plasma guns at their side and points them nervously at the party.

At this point the party is rather surprised, but they decide to talk down the peasants. Turns out that they live off the lands by harvesting wheat from the fields and foraging plasma guns from the forest, one of the younger peasants runs the point home when he opens a sack and empties several plasma guns to the floor.

While the party do further inquiries into these plasma guns, Arseus, i'm not shitting, that's his name, decides to go outside exploring the little farm. He finds the peasants space cows grazing close by..>and decides he wants to eat them>when he knows he in a small farm community where everyone has plasma guns>the entire party groans when he describes how he kills Bessy the prize space cow>party is now facing 20 farmers with plasma guns, one whom is shouting BESSY! from the bottom of his lungs>Arseus get's melted>rest of the party survives solely due to peasants can't handle being pinned for shit

>>40310230I never got around to finishing this game. I couldnt figure out the hotkeys for creating units while in dragon mode, so I just cheesed through the whole first segment of the game by stalling for a while until I could go dragonform, then flying around and killing all of their troops. Let me win when there was like a 10-1 disadvantage.

A good obviously first choice. Doesn`t do anything for you however. Just bitches about her dad. Opens interesting story? No, just bitches about her dad more.Not a little. A LOT, and very much in your face. To the point that a random Anon on /tg/ needs to warn you not to do it.

Not the dwarf!... The rest of the options also suck.

Skeleton is the least bad. She as four different "paths"... the rest have two or one.

>>40310161>"Do not defeat your opponent. Do not conquer your opponent. In order to truly emerge victorious, you must annihilate the very fabric of your enemy; their beliefs, their dreams, their knowledge, their identity; all must be crushed so utterly and thoroughly, that one hundred years from now, as they speak your language, learn your history, worship your gods, and send their sons to die in your army, that they do not even remember why they stood against you in the first place."

Huron rolls d3 (minimum of 1) so the huge marine squad will always be able to infiltrate and maybe a cultist squad, or both. Or the ICs can band together to form a unit (pg166 or small form rules) and infiltrate, but I don't immediately see a use case where that can succeed.

I'd really be pressing my collection for bikes though. I'll have to strip and then convert several space marine bikes, hopefully not have to dip into the DV bikes which seem like they would be really difficult to convert

So basically in the last session i was killed by a vampire blood drain so I'm going to rise as a vampire. Now the question is, both I and the master remember that a new vampire rises 1d4 days after the burial, but the monster manual only talks of this days about vampire spawn created by energy drain. Do we remember bad? Or there was a correction and we remember that? It appears strange that a vampire spawn from energy drain rises 1d4 days after and one from blood drain doesn't. If you find a rule different from the one in the monster manual please post source.

>>40309890So, do you have 4HD? (that is, 4 class levels if playing as a standard humanoid)

if not you might want to use savage species type template where basically you take "vampire levels" as you rise from spawn to full vampire. (in effect, for the purpose of HD calculations, vampire HD already counts as vampire levels.So lets say you were a fighter 7 when you got turned. You are now a Fighter 7/Vampire 4 for a total of 11HD for anything that relates to HD (ex, susceptibility to enemy magic, calculating BAB, calculating XP gain from battle, etc)

Your pod sits in the silence of space over a Union world, soaking in the news broadcast from the surface. It is a slow news day for the most part, with reruns of old interviews and coverage spliced into a short documentary seemingly intended to fill extra time. An image of the Clarke as it drifts from dock can be seen, as well as the Hope in a nearby berth. It cuts to an old interview, and you see Lee sitting across from a reporter.

“It says in the official report that you were rescued by native life.” The reporter asks. “Could you tell us a bit about that?” Lee looks quickly between him and the camera.

“You mean the natives? They seemed nice enough. They looked like giant bugs.” He holds his hand up several feet from the floor. “About so high, four legs, two arms. They didn’t seem to use tools but it looked like they didn’t need to. Dr. Seiner said he thought that was one of the reasons they seemed to intelligent, but lacked any signs of invention.”

“My understanding is that they have a kind of queen, like an ant colony.” The reporter leans forward slightly in his chair as Lee shifts awkwardly. “According to the reports, you were the only one to have actually seen it in person. I was hoping you could tell us more about that.”

>>40317441Yeah, I realize that. But even barrels should roll fine up just about anything when you've got arms that can push 2000kg at a time, legs that are each capable of handling 3 times your weight and are tipped with prehensile claws that can dig into concrete.

I do feel rather silly now though, I'd forgotten they were low-gravity.

If age truly conferred wisdom then why is it that every supposed wiseman my group runs into is either a senile old hobo or a failed middle aged drunken adventurer missing a few limbs. While all the supposed ignorant people are younger, far more successful, and seemingly know a great deal about life?
